python-igraph

We have a set of usability benchmarks—a collection of small tasks that help us judge how convenient it is to use the library. This issue is to implement each such task using python-igraph.

https://github.com/igraph/usability-benchmarks

This collection of solutions will also be useful as a "dictionary" that helps users familiar with another high-level interface of igraph (or even a different graph library) get up to speed with python-igraph.

Ideally, the Python solutions would eventually be collected into a Jupyter notebook: this way usability in notebook environments could also be explored.

If you plan to work on this issue, choose one or a few exercises of your liking, and post a comment noting which ones you will be implementing.

Hi, currently working on a PR for the following examples:

• Clique percolation
• Community visualization
• Visualize cliques

@yanchenm Thanks for offering to contribute!

We created a new repository to host the solutions. You can open a pull request (a separate one for each task) there. https://github.com/igraph/usability-benchmarks This is still a new project, and we are still exploring the best way to move forward with it. Things may change rapidly.

I would suggest opening a draft PR before you are completely done with the task. Create a new directory within solutions/python-igraph for each task. This way, we can see how you approach the task, and we can learn something not only about what is possible with python-igraph, but how easy it is a newcomer to discover the best way to do it.

I am working with @yanchenm, @ChenyanWang and @jamesjiang52 on this issue and I completed the visualize cliques task.
